Poplava sećanja: nastanak i razvoj memory booma
Flooded with Memories: Emergence and Development of the 'Memory Boom'

Summary/Abstract: This paper aims to describe the development of the recent wave of interest in memory and the past in general (so-called “memory boom”), as well as the overall cultural cli-mate that encouraged this “invasion” of the past in both public and scientific discourses. While the first wave of memory boom was supposed to legitimate the emerging nation-states, the second boom signified the exhaustion of the old paradigm of nationalism, decline of the nation-state, as well as the emergence of a new paradigm: globalization.
